Research Standards and Protocols.
These standards and
protocols are the basic guidelines for a beginner in paranormal and
ghost research to eliminate the common errors by most beginners.
Furthermore, these Paranormal and ghost research standards and
protocols are based on the Malaysian Paranormal Research experienced
and the International Ghost Hunters Society Standards and Protocols
to ensure professionalism in Paranormal Investigation and ghost
research.
We research the
unknown with respect and kindness, and touch souls with love and
humility.
What should you do:
1.
Equipments.
Make sure you clean your camera's
lens before and after a paranormal investigation.
Bring only all the necessary
equipments during a paranormal investigation. Remember, not the
advances of your gadgets that determine your success but YOU.
Remove or wear the
camera strap so it does not hang loose.
Take photos of
dust particles, pollen, moisture droplets to see how your camera
records these kinds of orbs.
2. Personal / Group Manners Standard.
Calm yourself and put your focus only
to your investigation.
Wear a cap if you have a long hair.
If someone is angry, they should not
be involved with an investigation. They will draw angry spirits and
the other spirits will avoid them.
Always have an open mind during a
paranormal investigation and ghost research.
Do not bring along skeptics or those
who are negative or want proof that ghosts exist.
-
If you sense
strange activity or feel like being threaten then just stop a
while you may have trespass someone's private area or you may
near a portal. Calm your self, tell the spirit who you are and
your purpose there. Start you line with "Forgive me for..."
Always remember we are not invited to be there but we are
actually intruding someone's private home so be respectful to
the owner.
-
Release your self
from daily life problems to ensure 100% focus only for the
investigation
3. At
The Field of Investigation.
Avoid to make noise too much during
the investigation.
When you reach at the field of
investigation greets the spirit and tell them who you are and your
purpose.
Start your investigation only after
10-15 minutes from the time you reach the place.
Before you start your investigation
ask the spirits of the dead for permission to take their photos,
record their voices or to perform video recording.
Respect posted property, ask permission, and do not trespass.
Always conduct your investigations in a professional
manner.
Show reverence and respect all the time in
cemeteries, battlefields, historic sites, etc.
No
running or horse play in cemeteries or historical sites.
Video recording must only be done
with a tripod and after 20 minutes stop the recording and go to
another area.
Whenever you start a new recording at
a new area always treats it as a new fresh investigation. Your are
required to greet the spirit and tell them who you are and your
purpose again.
You don't need to stay around near
your video camera. Do other things while the video camera 'working'
for you.
If you are taking photo with an
ordinary digital camera make sure take a photo within 9-12 feet
only.
Avoid shooting
with flash at reflective or shinny surfaces.
Keep fingers away
from the lens of the camera.
When you have done your

dowsing rods, pendants or séances valid investigation tools.
The best time for conducting paranormal investigation
is during the solar storm. Yet, based on Malaysian Paranormal
Research experienced all times are best for paranormal investigation
as long as you have the focus towards your paranormal investigation
as every matters exists in
one definite existence that has no beginning nor end - The God's
Mind that holds everything. Therefore,
the best time for
conducting paranormal investigation is embedded in YOU.
